Don’t you just love it when someone says that to you?  I mean, how does that just wipe off all the trickiness and probable harshness of the comment to come?  “No offense but, your kid is really ugly.”  Oh, well good thing you started with that all encompassing disclaimer, otherwise I might have been offended and a bit upset.  Here’s a good idea.  If you are thinking of telling somebody something, and the first thing your brain tells you to say is “No offense, but” I recommend not saying anything and moving on in your wrinkle free world. Let’s try being nice to each other and tie up the high horse for a while.

Happy Friday.
